                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                 ===============================================


1.       INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The accompanying condensed interim financial statements for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are unaudited. These condensed
interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's latest
Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, such statements
reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of the results of such periods. The results of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of results for the entire year.

2.       TRANSACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL PARTNER AND AFFILIATES

         The Partnership has a management and service agreement with a wholly
owned subsidiary of the General Partner (the "Manager") for a monthly management
fee of 5% of revenues, excluding revenues from the sale of cable television
systems or franchises. Management fee expense approximated $66,600 and $135,000
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997.

         In addition to the monthly management fee described above, the
Partnership reimburses the Manager for direct expenses incurred on behalf of the
Partnership and for the Partnership's allocable share of operational costs
associated with services provided by the Manager. All cable television
properties managed by the General Partner and its subsidiary are charged a
proportionate share of these expenses. Corporate office allocations and district
office expenses are charged to the properties served based primarily on the
respective percentage of basic subscribers or homes passed (dwelling units
within a system) within the designated service areas. The total amount charged
to the Partnership for these services approximated $75,700 and $145,800 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1997. Management fees and reimbursed
expenses due the General Partner are non-interest bearing.

         Payments of management fees and reimbursed expenses were deferred in
1994, 1995 and 1996 pursuant to restrictions in the note payable agreement. The
cumulative amount deferred as of June 30, 1997 was approximately $1,081,300. On
May 2, 1997, the Partnership prepaid its remaining note payable balance, thereby
removing the restrictions imposed by the credit agreement. In order to preserve
liquidity the Partnership does not currently intend to pay the deferred
management fees and reimbursed expenses, but instead expects to use proceeds
from possible future borrowings to satisfy a portion of this obligation. See
Item 2., "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources."

                 ===============================================


2.       TRANSACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL PARTNER AND AFFILIATES (CONCLUDED)

         The Partnership also receives certain system operating management
services from affiliates of the General Partner in addition to the Manager due
to the fact that there are no such employees directly employed by the
Partnership. The Partnership reimburses the affiliates for its allocable share
of the affiliates' operational costs. The total amount charged to the
Partnership for these costs approximated $28,100 and $55,400 in the three and
six months ended June 30, 1997. No management fee is payable to the affiliates
by the Partnership and there is no duplication of reimbursed expenses and costs
paid to the Manager.

         Certain programming services have been purchased through an affiliate
of the Partnership. In turn, the affiliate charges the Partnership for these
costs based on an estimate of what the General Partner could negotiate for such
programming services for the 15 partnerships managed by the General Partner as a
group. The Partnership recorded programming fee expense of $304,700 and $608,200
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997. Programming fees are included
in service costs in the statements of operations.

3.       EARNINGS PER UNIT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST

         Earnings and losses per unit of limited partnership interest is based
on the average number of units outstanding during the periods presented. For
this purpose, earnings and losses have been allocated 99% to the Limited
Partners and 1% to the General Partner. The General Partner does not own units
of partnership interest in the Partnership, but rather holds a participation
interest in the income, losses and distributions of the Partnership.

4.       RECLASSIFICATIONS

         Certain 1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1997
presentation.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

         On February 8, 1996, President Clinton signed into law the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Telecom Act"). This statute
substantially changed the competitive and regulatory environment for
telecommunications providers by significantly amending the Communications Act of
1934, including certain of the rate regulation provisions previously imposed by
the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992
Cable Act"). Compliance with those rate regulations has had a negative impact on
the Partnership's revenues and cash flow. The 1996 Telecom Act provides that
certain of the rate regulations will be phased out altogether in 1999. Further,
the regulatory environment will continue to change pending, among other things,
the outcome of legal challenges and Federal Communications Commission (the
"FCC") rulemaking and enforcement activity in respect of the 1992 Cable Act and
the 1996 Telecom Act. There can be no assurance as to what, if any, further
action may be taken by the FCC, Congress or any other regulatory authority or
court, or the effect thereof on the Partnership's business. Accordingly, the
Partnership's historical financial results as described below are not
necessarily indicative of future performance.

         This Report includes certain forward looking statements regarding,
among other things, future results of operations, regulatory requirements,
competition, capital needs and general business conditions applicable to the
Partnership. Such forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties
including, without limitation, the uncertainty of legislative and regulatory
changes and the rapid developments in the competitive environment facing cable
television operators such as the Partnership. In addition to the information
provided herein, reference is made to the Partnership's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 for additional information regarding
such matters and the effect thereof on the Partnership's business.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Partnership's revenues increased from $1,276,600 to $1,331,700, or
by 4.3%, and from $2,540,100 to $2,700,600, or by 6.3%, for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the corresponding periods in 1996. Of
the $55,100 increase in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as
compared to the corresponding period in 1996, $76,600 was due to increases in
regulated service rates that were implemented by the Partnership in the second
and fourth quarters of 1996, $35,000 was due to the restructuring of The Disney
Channel from a premium channel to a tier channel effective July 1, 1996 and
$3,700 was due to increases in other revenue producing items. These increases
were partially offset by a decrease of $60,200 due to decreases in the number of
subscriptions for basic, premium and tier services. Of the $160,500 increase in
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the corresponding
period in 1996, $194,200 was due to increases in regulated service rates,
$68,400 was due to the restructuring of The Disney Channel and $7,000 was due to
increases in other revenue producing items. These increases were partially
offset by a decrease of $109,100 due to decreases in the number of subscriptions
for basic, premium and tier services. As of June 30, 1997, the Partnership had
approximately 11,500 homes subscribing to cable service and 5,700 premium
service units.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

         Service costs increased from $426,100 to $484,200, or by 13.6%, and
from $890,500 to $979,400, or by 10.0%, for the three and six months ended June
30, 1997 as compared to the corresponding periods in 1996. Service costs
represent costs directly attributable to providing cable services to customers.
Programming, copyright and franchise fees accounted for the majority of the
increase in both periods. The increase for the three months was also due to
decreased capitalization of labor and overhead costs resulting from reduced
construction activity in the Partnership's North Carolina cable system. The
increase in programming fees was due to increases in rates charged by program
suppliers. Increases in copyright and franchise fees resulted from increased
revenues as described above.

         General and administrative expenses increased from $179,700 to
$265,200, or by 47.6%, and from $345,100 to $462,500, or by 34.0%, for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the corresponding periods in
1996. The increases were primarily due to increases in bad debt expense and
marketing expense.

         Management fees and reimbursed expenses remained relatively unchanged,
decreasing from $142,400 to $142,300 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, and
increased from $272,200 to $280,800, or by 3.2%, for the six months ended June
30, 1997 as compared to the corresponding periods in 1996. Management fees
increased in direct relation to increased revenues as described above.
Reimbursed expenses decreased for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 due to lower
allocated telephone and marketing expenses and increased for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 primarily due to higher allocated personnel costs.

         Operating income before income taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA) is a commonly used financial analysis tool for measuring and comparing
cable television companies in several areas, such as liquidity, operating
performance and leverage. EBITDA as a percentage of revenues decreased from
41.4% to 33.0% and from 40.6% to 36.2% during the three and six months ended
June 30, 1997 as compared to the corresponding periods in 1996. The decreases
were primarily due to higher bad debt and marketing expenses. EBITDA decreased
from $528,400 to $440,000, or by 16.7%, and from $1,032,300 to $977,900, or by
5.3%, during the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the
corresponding periods in 1996. EBITDA should be considered in addition to and
not as a substitute for net income and cash flows determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles as an indicator of financial
performance and liquidity.

         Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $135,600 to
$139,800, or by 3.1%, for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 and decreased from
$302,300 to $276,300, or by 8.6%, for six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared
to the corresponding periods in 1996. The increase for three months was
primarily due to asset additions while the six months' decrease was due to the
effect of certain plant assets becoming fully depreciated in April 1996.

         Operating income decreased from $392,800 to $300,200, or by 23.6%, and
from $730,000 to $701,600, or by 3.9%, for the three and six months ended June
30, 1997 as compared to the corresponding periods in 1996, primarily due to
increases in bad debt and marketing expenses as described above.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONCLUDED)

         Interest income decreased from $12,400 to $7,500, or by 39.5%, and from
$22,900 to $19,100, or by 16.6%, for the three and six months ended June 30,
1997 as compared to the corresponding periods in 1996, due to lower average cash
balances available for investment resulting from greater debt service payments
in 1997.

         Interest expense decreased from $49,400 to $45,900, or by 7.1%, and
from $101,400 to $74,900, or by 26.1%, for the three and six months ended June
30, 1997 as compared to the corresponding periods in 1996, due to the repayment
of the Partnership's note payable in May 1997. The Partnership fully amortized
the related deferred loan costs to interest expense in the quarter ended June
30, 1997.

         Due to the factors described above, the Partnership's net income
decreased from $355,800 to $261,800, or by 26.4%, and from $651,500 to $645,800
(less than one percent) for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 as
compared to the corresponding periods in 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Partnership's primary objective, having invested its net offering
proceeds in cable systems, is to distribute to its partners all available cash
flow from operations and proceeds from the sale of cable systems, if any, after
providing for expenses, debt service and capital requirements relating to the
expansion, improvement and upgrade of its cable systems. The Partnership
currently relies exclusively on the availability of cash generated from
operations to fund its ongoing expenses, debt service and capital requirements.
In general, these requirements involve expansion, improvement and upgrade of the
Partnership's existing cable systems and are projected to be approximately
$715,000 for 1997. As of the date of this Report, substantially all of the
available channel capacity in the Partnership's systems is being utilized and
each of such systems requires rebuilding. The rebuild program is presently
estimated to require aggregate capital expenditures of approximately $7.5
million, although the majority of the total is not planned to be spent until
1998. Funding rebuild capital expenditures will require the Partnership to
obtain new financing.

         In an effort to obtain the necessary capital, the General Partner has
engaged in discussions with a number of possible financing sources regarding the
availability and terms of a bank facility for the Partnership. These discussions
have to date not been successful. The General Partner has generally been advised
that an individual facility of the size needed by the Partnership is too small
to interest most banks which lend to the cable television industry. Accordingly,
on June 6, 1997, the General Partner and an affiliated partnership formed Enstar
Finance Company, LLC ("EFC"). The General Partner's objective is to have EFC
obtain a secured bank facility of up to $35 million in order to provide funds
that would in turn be advanced to the Partnership and certain of the other
related partnerships managed by the General Partner. Such funds would be used to
repay existing bank obligations and other liabilities of such partnerships and
to provide capital to fund future rebuild and upgrade requirements. Based on
discussions with prospective lenders, the General Partner believes that this
structure, if implemented, will provide capital to the Partnership on terms more
favorable than could be obtained on a "stand-alone" basis. Any advances by EFC
will be independently collateralized by the individual partnership borrowers so
that no partnership will be required to accept responsibility for borrowings
made to other partnerships. The General Partner has received a commitment letter
from two agent banks regarding the terms of a bank facility for EFC, although

                       ENSTAR INCOME PROGRAM 1984-1, L.P.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONCLUDED)

a definitive credit agreement has not been executed as of the date of this
Report. The General Partner presently expects the EFC facility to be completed
in the third quarter and, accordingly, contemplates that a loan will be made by
EFC to the Partnership if the Partnership needs to borrow to meet its liquidity
requirements.

         On March 7, 1997, the Partnership prepaid $500,000 of its note payable
balance. On April 9, 1997, the Partnership made a scheduled principal repayment
of $250,000 on the note payable, and on May 2, 1997, the Partnership prepaid the
remaining balance of $292,800 and the related accrued interest. On March 27,
1996, the note payable, which until that date had restricted the payment of
management fees and reimbursed expenses to the Manager, was amended to permit
the current payment of management fees and reimbursed expenses (but not deferred
management fees and reimbursed expenses). As of June 30, 1997, deferred
management fees and reimbursed expenses totaled an aggregate of $1,081,300. In
order to preserve liquidity, the Partnership does not currently intend to pay
the deferred management fees and reimbursed expenses, but instead expects to
utilize proceeds from possible future borrowings to satisfy a portion of this
obligation.

         The General Partner may seek a buyer for the Snow Hill, North Carolina
system as well as for the Kershaw, South Carolina system. The sale of these
systems would allow the Partnership to accelerate the rebuilding of its
remaining systems. Upon the sale of either or both of these systems, the General
Partner would evaluate the feasibility at that time of resuming the payment of
distributions. Due to current cable television system market conditions, there
is currently no activity being conducted by the General Partner with respect to
selling these systems, and there can, therefore, be no assurance that these
systems can be sold at an acceptable price.

         SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996

         Operating activities provided $158,500 more cash in the six months
ended June 30, 1997 than in the corresponding period in 1996. The Partnership
used $196,900 less cash to pay liabilities owed to third-party creditors
resulting from differences in the timing of payments. Cash generated by
Partnership operations increased by $8,300 after adding back non-cash
depreciation and amortization charges. Changes in accounts receivable, prepaid
expenses and other assets used $46,700 more cash in the first six months of 1997
due to differences in the timing of receivable collections and the payment of
prepaid expenses.

         The Partnership used $343,000 less cash in investing activities in the
six months ended June 30, 1997 than in the corresponding six months of 1996, due
to a $352,400 decrease in expenditures for tangible assets, partially offset by
a $9,400 increase in expenditures for intangible assets. Financing activities
used $825,400 more cash in the first six months of 1997 than in the comparable
1996 period. The Partnership used $817,800 more cash to repay debt in the 1997
period and used $32,900 more cash to pay its liabilities to affiliates. In the
first six months of 1996, the Partnership used $25,300 more cash than in the
comparable 1997 period for the payment of deferred loan costs related to a 1996
loan amendment.

INFLATION

         Certain of the Partnership's expenses, such as those for wages and
benefits, equipment repair and replacement, and billing and marketing generally
increase with inflation. However, the Partnership does not believe that its
financial results have been, or will be, adversely affected by inflation in a
material way.
